Bad day for my 4.0L

Send me the pics I'll host them

How does a throttle get stuck open?

You literally drive into the lobby? I take it that the door wasn't big enough for your vehicle. What is your zip code. You parting out or selling the whole vehicle?

Blaine I shot you an email to your hotmail account. To answer your question I have no idea how something like that happens. All that is important is that my mom is ok, not a scratch on her. I'm selling the entire vehicle, I'm at school and don't have time to part it out. The car is in Skokie and I'm in Champaign/Urbana.

Re: Bad day for my 4.0L (cont)

Got the engine pulled this weekend. Appears that #1 connecting rod gave out, and at the rev the motor was doing, took out two major chucks of the block. Hopefully will have donor engine in next week or two.

I like the "holding the engine up with one hand" effect

Thats nothing a little JB Weld won't fix.

That would require one big tube of JB!
